I spent a bunch of time going through prior treads on the same topic
and couldn't find what I originally saw posted before.

I wrecked the left rearview mirror on my new 2022 Kymco AK550.
I am on back order at my scooter shop - but nothing is shipping
out of Taiwan. Three months waiting.

I rode on my last two group rides with the left mirror duck tapped
and showing my crotch when I looked into it.

On a prior post, someone recommended some really good replacement
rearview mirrors that fit my 550.

Any recommendations.

I am thinking about replacing both with after market mirrors.

How about bar end mirrors?
I had these on my Kawasaki 900 cafe racer, surprisingly good visibility.
For the price might even be good in between mirrors while waiting for OE mirror if your bar ends are not tapered

CaliforniaCruising,

Thanks - great idea. They are inexpensive and would make me
rode ready immediately.

Perhaps keep the broken mirror installed, in addition to the bar end mirror?

This way you will always be able to check if your fly is up.

Shebalba,

Good idea. I have been known to miss zipping up in my old age.

Looks like the 2022 Kymco AK550 uses standard 10mm mirrors. Find a style you like and use them. https://smile.amazon.com/Bumbee-Motorcycle-Mirror-Handlebars-Compatible/dp/B095343PXJ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=FQBOKX8C6O9C&keywords=12+mm+motorcycle+mirrors&qid=1670538013&sprefix=12+mm+motorcycle+mirrors%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-3 Look very much like the stock mirrors though you shouldn't need the clamp mount

It's a frame mounted mirror, not a handlebar mounted mirror. From the looks of it, the stem is fairly long. None of the companies I deal with have them yet. That is one bad ass looking scooter.

I want to thank everyone for their great input. You guys are super.

As fate has it, my local dealer called today - the Kymco mirrors arrived.
It is almost as if posting this thread caused the "back order part scooter
gods" to made it happen.

Over and out from Frostbite Falls.
